Same reason they let certain people do the same. Then put them back on the street.

What if… hear me out… what if the government does not, should not, and could not control everything that happens on a daily basis. I swear some of y’all sound just like the authortarians of the left.

But, but, but I am an Independent. What does less government have to do with the right to carry or bear arms? If more people carried, more vicious dogs owned by irresponsible owners would cease to breathe.

Yet let someone kill another person with a gun tonight and the MSM and politicians go nuts!! They are okay with the owners turning the dogs loose.

Are you kidding me? What if government did not infringe upon your right to bear arms?

It Would Be GLORIOUS! The authoritarians would be gone along with the vicious dogs!!

It’s both the owners and the dog.

It’s called genetics and no matter how much training and exercise the pitbull gets, nothing will stop the trigger in their head when it randomly flips. You can’t train a retriever not to retrieve and you can’t train out hundreds of years of aggression. That’s why most attacks are on their owners in the home that they’ve been with for years. It’s why shelters are packed full of pits, you can never trust a pitbull, not even if you raised them for 8 years like the Bennard family in Tennessee. Those XL Bullies (Pit bulls) ripped their kids in half while sending the mother to the ICU who almost died fighting the dogs to try and save the children. The breed of dogs should be banned for the safety of everyone. There’s hundreds of other breeds to pick from. If we had responsible dog ownership it would be one thing but we don’t. The pitbull is the preferred dog for the homeless. These pits attack and kill pets every single day because the owners don’t care. Not even Caesar Milan could train his pitbull not to kill. It killed multiple dogs at his training facility while also mauling a teen gymnast that ended her career due to the attack. Name another breed of dog that gets loose and comes across a farm with 90 sheep and mauls and kills all 90 sheep for sport in a single night?

Sounds more like you're getting MAGA confused with conservative.

If a man walks out of his house with a butter knife, the police shoot him. But a vicious dog attacks a person and the dog is given a bone or a treat.

as far as I know, it's an American Bull Terrier and a Staffordshire Terrier.


Those two plus American Bully and American Staffordshire Terrier (which is recognized as a distinct breed from the plain old Staffordshire Terrier, which is also why "Pit Bull" is not the same thing as "American Pit Bull Terrier."). Some also include the English Bull Terrier.

Plus all of the half or quarter bred dogs that have one or more of those four in them.

Again, we're talking about so many dogs with so much genetic diversity it really does come down to just what they look like with people. If it looks like what they think a "Pit Bull" looks like, then it is in their minds.

And the problem with that is that visual identification is notoriously inaccurate; studies show that most dogs labeled as "pit bulls" are actually mixed-breed dogs with complex genetic backgrounds spanning many different types of breeds. National Canine Research Council

ALSO:

quote:

The American Temperament Test Society, which provides a uniform national program of temperament testing for dogs, has found that "pit bull" terrier-identified dogs passed the test at a higher rate than many other dog breeds, such as golden retrievers and border collies. Some people think these dogs are somehow physiologically and genetically different from other dogs, but they aren’t.



AND:

quote:

Modern domestic dog breeds are only ~160 years old and are the result of selection for specific cosmetic traits. To investigate how genetics aligns with breed characteristics, Morrill et al. sequenced the DNA of more than 2000 purebred and mixed-breed dogs. These data, coupled with owner surveys, were used to map genes associated with behavioral and physical traits. Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog.

Pigs will kill the frick out of you. Their bites are much worse than a dogs.

One bite in the wrong spot and you will bleed out.

And then they will eat the evidence.

Also, not being able to eat an animal is hardly the same as being able to kill one.

I am not going to do the work for you. Certain dogs are dangerous and unpredictable. That is a fact. The most dangerous of them all is the pit bull.

What could that possibly have to do with whether he believes in conservative principles or not?

Certain individual dogs. Not certain breeds. I posted the links to the scientific studies above.

As has been explained to you, there isn't even a breed recognized as "the pit bull."

You're trolling right? Are you really this stupid?
